2. If you have any money in your account, be sure to transfer it to your bank before you continue. Do this by tapping the Banking icon (which looks like a house, or a bank) in the bottom-left corner, then tapping Cash Out. If you have any stocks or bitcoin, you need to sell them off before you can close your account.
3. Tap the account icon (which looks like a silhouette of a person in a circle) in the upper-right corner.
4. Tap Support.
5. At the bottom of the next screen, tap Something Else.
